Neck & Back

DOCTORS: Dr. McGovern

Back pain, whether it stems from muscle soreness, herniated discs, ligament sprains, degenerative conditions, fractures or other conditions of the spine, can be particularly debilitating. Dr. Scott McGovern, a fellowship trained spine surgeon, is the primary physician who treats neck and back injuries/conditions. He treats the majority of patients without the use of surgery, but when surgery is indicated as the best treatment option, he relies on innovative, minimally invasive and motion-preserving surgeries to reduce recovery time and decrease discomfort.
